In this episode, I discuss theological anthropology with Dr. Lisa Stephenson from Lee University. We delve into the concepts of Imago Dei, Imago Christi, and Imago Spiritus, emphasizing the importance of being created in God’s image and its implications for gender roles in ministry. Dr. Stephenson shares her insights into the historical and scriptural challenges of integrating women into ministry roles, advocating for a comprehensive understanding and reinterpretation of biblical texts. We also talk about how gender issues change when viewed from a global and historical Pentecostal perspective.
